Hampton Court was a lovely little day excursion. Henry VIII lived in this palace, so it was interesting to imagine what life would've been like for him and the six wives he had throughout his lifetime. It is said that he ghost of Catherine Howard still haunts the palace, and her shrill screams can be heard in the halls. She was the wife who was very young and flirtatious. she confessed her lack of faithfulness to the King, and was beheaded at the age of 17. It wasn't easy being Henry's queen. That's for sure.
The Palace.
Clock Tower.
Loved these gardens. It reminded me of Alice in Wonderland.
This is Alison in the Hedge Maze that we completely lost ourselves in.
"How do we get out of here?"
Everyone takes cute jumping pictures, so we decided to be original and take a not cute one.
The Birthday girl and I
The gang climbing on the garden fence.

Hold hands!
We Love Hampton Court!
